Hi! I am Joe Palanzo of the World Wide Kenpo
Karate Association in conjunction with Expert

2
00:00:12,820 --> 00:00:16,750
Village; I want to welcome you today. The
technique that was just demonstrated is called

3
00:00:16,750 --> 00:00:21,160
parting wings and it is a defense against
the two hand push out. In other words, when

4
00:00:21,160 --> 00:00:26,320
the push occurs at the shoulder and I can
get my hands on the inside. This is called

5
00:00:26,320 --> 00:00:33,030
an open ended triangle, and it is actually
four spaces that have two sides. The options

6
00:00:33,030 --> 00:00:39,370
in case his hands are closer together having
more leverage to separate or I can go straight

7
00:00:39,370 --> 00:00:45,149
into the face. So, on the first move, as he
drops back I strike here and try to get enough

8
00:00:45,149 --> 00:00:49,750
space inside the arms as he comes forward,
and as his body will continue to come forward

9
00:00:49,750 --> 00:00:54,870
I need to stop it. So this hand as it travels
over here perhaps can hook his eye to divert

10
00:00:54,870 --> 00:01:00,829
his head, and I stop him with a major move,
which is a hand sword coming onto the heart

11
00:01:00,829 --> 00:01:04,570
or the floating ribs. If you want to bring
it from the outside but it will stop him.

12
00:01:04,570 --> 00:01:08,440
This hand is chambered over here in a defensive
posture, and I have changed stances from a

13
00:01:08,440 --> 00:01:13,430
neutral to four blow to give me some force.
I might grab a bit of the armpit here, and

14
00:01:13,430 --> 00:01:18,150
as I pull I am going to strike him in the
throat with a hand sword, and again I have

15
00:01:18,150 --> 00:01:22,690
chambered by right hand back here in preparation
for the next move. This hand is going to go

16
00:01:22,690 --> 00:01:28,520
down the body as a check and also positional
check against his legs as I use a middle finger

17
00:01:28,520 --> 00:01:34,700
strike to the solar plexus, and this usually
penetrates and does the job. So again the

18
00:01:34,700 --> 00:01:40,340
first four basic moves are separate, stop
with a hand sword, chop to the throat, and

19
00:01:40,340 --> 00:01:45,000
strike to the solar plexus and then cover
to a safe position. This is parting wings.
